Piazza Brà

Main square and bustling centre of Verona

Verona’s main square, the Piazza Brà, is one of the largest squares in Europe. It functions as a kind of arrival hall before you enter the centre of the city. The term “brà” derives originally from the German word “breit” (broad) and refers to the broad square in front of the city gates. Even today, the Piazza Brà is a beautiful and wide square in the heart of Verona with many open spaces and cosy street bars. Many historic buildings from various eras from ancient times to the present surround the square. From your coffee table in one of the bars you can thus enjoy 2,000 years of history at a glance.
